Wall-E Live Blog and Reflection

The idea of such autonomous, intelligent robots is is scary enough, let alone having them outlive us.

Such ominous music.

This movie is not nearly as cute as I remembered. Only 2 minutes in and it is making me severely reflective on the state of the environment and human race.

Such good juxtaposition in place between the space cruises and the earth.

The sounds Wall-E makes are so cute.

A robot with the capacity for love... what a sad concept.

The apple computer restart noise is in this! Whoa!

Cool how Wall-E can recognize the plant as being important.

What is that dancing laser from??

A ship landing!!

It's Eve! I thought she (it?) came in later.

I find it interesting how people just assume Eve is a girl and Wall-E is a boy.

Eve makes me think of those super badass women in spy movies who are tall and gorgeous and devious.

The music in this movie is so good! Love the old-timey stuff.

Wall-E reminds me of a little kid or dog showing a person their toys when he shows his toys to Eve.

How did Pixar give these robots so much emotion?!

Whoa Eve was sent to look for plants!

His life that is the same as it was before Eve now seems so sad.

What a poor representation of space this film presents. Luckily I doubt many people take it as fact.

First encounter with people already so sad. Is it a statement on cell phone use?

Consumerist culture - a company owns and runs everything

When the screen leaves their face, they reach a level of self-realization

Visual of old captains: getting fatter and fatter, so sad

They have the ability to just change time.

Can they not read?!?!

Everything in this looks like if Apple made it

“Caution: Rogue Robots” they make these autonomous robots but then warn people against them

This scene is space with the fire extinguisher is the cutest thing in the world

Their life without the screens becomes so much better!

Is it in human nature to value dancing and nature like the captain of the ship would indicate?

The robot who just cleans Wall-E’s tracks the whole time is hilarious.

How does this autopilot have the will to sabotage going back to earth

Was this film one of the first mass-introductions to the idea of sustainability?

No return to earth :(

The year 2110 is pretty soon…

“I don’t want to survive. I want to live.” How deep.

Wall-E saves the day!!!!

Did Wall-E die??

They have huge Wall-E’s for their absurd amounts of waste.

Foreign Contaminant dude saves them!

Real sunlight!

Nooooo, Wall-E doesn’t remember anything!!!! Honestly I am going to cry.

Now he does!! Woooohooooo omg so cute

They replanted the earth!

Post-movie reflection:

People before these people destroyed earth. They trashed the planet with no regard for the environment. This caused all these people to live incredibly unfulfilling lifestyles. This is absolutely Pixar’s warning that we take our environment more seriously. Additionally, the fact that it is all run by one corporation is a statement on the expansion of a few big businesses. Now that the people are getting earth back, they will take better care of it. The music too was very reflective the whole way through.
